The Solution! • All premises should be mapped in
Diamond Fire
• “Secret Formula” - Cross referenced this data with GeoDirectory & Planning databases (e.g. iPlan, APAS etc)
• Used qualifying criteria (commercial property, built post 1992 etc)
• Created a “Regularisation Layer” with the results
• Imported GIS layer into Diamond Fire and overlaid on existing Fire Safety Certificates
• Un-certified premises identified and Fire/BC Officers can now investigate
• Increased Revenue
• Restoring confidence in public safety
• Happy Customer!
